My last #tbt is about to give, because give is the best way to receive Back in my country every year for Christmas we used to organized an special moment for kids with cancer at the public hospitals ... this is a moment to keep in my heart forever Thank you God to let me give ------------------------------- El que no vive para servir no sirve para vivir ❤️❤️❤️ ------------------------------- 💛💙❤️☮️✡️✝️🔯🕎🕉🇻🇪 #coexist #live #amor #throwbackthursdays#throwbackthursday #jueves #remembrance #recuerdos #dar #giveaway #beautifulday#bestpeople #moments #vida

Today I did something for the first time (and would not necessarily advise in doing): I quit my job without having another one to go to. This field is not easy, and anyone who tries to tell me (or the amazing people I went to school with) that is is or belittles it as just childcare, should spend a day doing this work. Every job comes with challenges, however, working with children and youth who have heavy trauma, abuse, neglect, and/or severe behavioural challenges, etc. Makes for challenging work. I quit my job today because I couldn't take the verbal assault- the daily name calling & insults, the weekly threats, the anger and screaming and rage- anymore. Enduring this 40 hours a week is incredibly hard and often under valued, it takes a toll on your happiness and ability to cope and not dread work every second of the day. While it is rather spur of the moment that I did this, it has been on my mind for a long time, and I was no longer willing to endure that kind of behaviour daily at risk of damaging or hurting myself. I don't really know what's in store for me next, I don't know where my next job will be or how long I'll basically be unemployed (I'm incredibly thankful right now that I have another job as well), but I'm looking forward to finding out, and I'm feeling pretty fortunate that I have some incredible people in my life who are so supportive. #resiliency #work #jobs #hardstuff #realtalk #scarymoments#firsttimeforeverything#bestpeople#anyonehiring #selfcare #boundaries
